12 Camera
You can take photos and record video clips with the built-in camera. The
camera lens is on the back of the phone, and the display of the phone
works as a viewfinder. The camera produces pictures in JPEG format and the video clips in
H.263 (SubQCIF) format. You cannot use the camera when the keyboard is open.
The camera includes a self-timer if you want to be included in the photo. The timer allows
you 10 seconds before the camera takes the photo.
If there is not enough memory to take a new photo or record a video clip, you need to free
some by deleting old photos or other files from Gallery. The camera uses shared memory.
For more information, see “Shared Memory” on page 6.
Note: Obey all local laws governing the taking of pictures.
• CAMERA SETTINGS
Use this procedure to choose your camera settings.
Select Menu > Camera > Settings. Choose settings for the following:
Image quality—to define how much the photo file will be compressed when saving the
image. Select High, Normal or Basic. The High setting provides the best image quality but
takes more memory.
Video clip length—to select the length for video clips recorded with the camera. Select
Default if you intend to send the file as a multimedia message.
Camera sounds—to set the shutter sound and the self-timer tone to On or Off.
Default title—to define the prefix the camera should use to name the photo files.
If you select Automatic, the camera uses the prefix Image with an incremental number
(such as Image001, Image 002).
If you select My title, you can key in a prefix for a series of photos and the camera
numbers the photo files for you. For example (PoolParty001, PoolParty002).
• TAKE A PHOTO
1 Select Menu > Camera and choose from the following:
• Standard photo—to take a basic photo using landscape orientation.
• Portrait photo—to take a photo using portrait orientation.
• Night mode—to take a photo when the lightning is dim.
Note: To quickly access the camera in the standby mode (with standard photo
view), move the joystick up.
The image appears on the display, and you can use the display as a viewfinder.
